hey Steve, when did you arrive on earth? how did you miss "Isn't it ironic" that played on every radio station in the solar system for 6 months at least twice an hour. Makes me wish I was in a coma for that entire time period. I like Alanis, but the same song over and over is what caused my current mental problems.

Siouxie, I have all of her stuff. i think she is a very imaginative songwriter and a great singer. that said, i don't ever need to hear "Ironic" again, ever. Hey, it's not like admitting to owning all of BM's stuff, is it Siouxie?

wicked, as God is my witness I only own ONE BM album. I actually found it the other day going through my old vinyls. Lots of classic stuff in there too. Again, I blame that on drugs and/or being young and stoopid.

Oh, fortheluva.....first the Yankees last opening day at the old stadium gets rained out, so I come here for solace and solecisms, only to find Alanis and Barry earwigs. Isn't a rainy Monday bad enough for you people?
Siouxie, he wants to know if you'd like to play with his GameBoy.

What our dear blog is referring to is the fact that the only thing ironic about "Ironic" is that there isn't a single reference to anything truly ironic in the whole song. Rain on your wedding day is not ironic, it's inconvenient.

Four score and seven years ago, on a date that will live in infamy, I asked not what my country could do for me, but what do we have to fear except fear itself. I had a dream that one day, college students would realize that we must fight plagiarism on the beaches, the landing grounds, the fields, the streets, and the hills. I told the students to "Tear down this, y'all!", that they might live to see the day when there are no editorial police to kick them around anymore.

Actually Alanis herself has acknowledged that the biggest irony in the song is that there is no irony, which is kind of meta-irony. So how many levels of irony can you have, anyways? At least 25, according to this article.

Now, haven't we then gone on to the 26th level, now that the irony behind the non-ironic song with Irony in it's title has reached exposure at a hugely popular blog via a link to an undoubtedly less popular blog with the, in this case, ironic title of The Heuristic Squelch?
